ALUMINUM [Al] DETONATORS
Detonators with Aluminum [Al] shell are manufactured either instantaneous or delay detonators. lnstantaneous detonators are used for simultaneous initiation of dynamites or similar cap sensitive explosives in underground and surface mines. Delay detonators are used at larger scale blasts for initiation of dynamites or similar cap sensitive explosives to minimize vibration, achieve good fragmentation and improve blasting effıciency. Detonators, having strength of number 8, can be manufactured with various cable lengths on demand.
COPPER[Cu] DETONATORS
Detonators with Copper [Cu] shell are manufactured either instantaneous or delay detonators. lnstantaneous permitted detonators are used simultaneous initiation of permissible cap sensitive explosives in gassy or dusty (coal ete.) underground mines. Permitted delay detonators are used at large blasts in gassy or dusty (coal ete.) underground mines to initiate permissible cap sensitive explosives using correct blast sequence to minimize vibration, achieve good fragmentation and improve blast efficiency. Delay detonators should only be used blasting rounds in rock at coal mines. Detonators, having strength of number 8, can be manufactured with various cablelengths on demand.
Electric detonators should be checked by an ohmmeter before inserting them into the boosters. If charging would be done pneumatically, semi-conductor hoses should be used and all necessary measures should be taken to prevent generation of static electricity. Connection cables should not be dragged on the ground, should not be knotted, should not be laid close to the electrical machinery or high voltage cables and should be isolated thoroughly in wet conditions. All of the detonators in a circuit should be of the same resistance group. Blasting round should be checked with an ohmmeter against short circuits. Specifıc blasting machines should be used to initiate the blasting rounds. Aluminum Shell detonators should not be used in mines where risk of gas and dust explosion exists; custom manufactured copper Shell detonators should be used for initiation at these mines.
Packed in cardboard boxes containing 1200/1500 detonators. in each box there are 50 piece packages which contains two bunches of 25 pieces wrapped in craft paper.
